Chapter 171: Chapter 171
When Miao Yingyao was brought into the Luocheng Post House, the Gu bugs in her body began to stir restlessly.
The only thing that could unsettle the Longevity Gu inside her was the Longevity Gu.
Though uncertain if Yu Xiaolian would help her, missing Luocheng would make it difficult for her to escape again, so Miao Yingyao let her ear snake bite through the ropes and fled from the post house.
Guided by the Longevity Gu, she successfully found Yu Xiaolian.
However, she first went to the backyard of the neighboring bookstore, and only after Jun Mobai searched there did she climb over the wall.
Even though Yu Xiaolian had many questions, seeing Miao Yingyao’s appearance indicating severe blood loss, she could only save her first.
Just now, after hearing Fu Qing say that all the routes in the east of the city had been sealed off, she estimated that going to fetch a doctor would be walking into a trap.
But she had never done the task of extracting an arrow; she was a bit afraid.
Afraid she might fail to save the person correctly and end up killing her.
Miao Yingyao turned her body to face away from Yu Xiaolian, "Just pull it out, I, like you, won’t feel much pain!"
Knowing herself to be insensitive to sickness and pain, Yu Xiaolian, after hearing Miao Yingyao’s words, thought she was just like her and thus pulled out the arrow without hesitation.
Miao Yingyao grunted and then fainted again.
Yu Xiaolian quickly took out the first aid kit from the supermarket’s rest area and found some Yunnan Baiyao to pour on Miao Yingyao’s arrow wound.
After pouring a whole bottle, with the help of Zhao Erya, she wrapped Miao Yingyao’s wound with gauze.
In a flurry of activity, she put Miao Yingyao’s clothes back on, and then heard Sun’s startled cry from the courtyard.
Realizing things were not good, Yu Xiaolian quickly stored Miao Yingyao, the extracted arrow, and the first aid kit into her space.
At the same time, the door to her room was kicked open by Jun Mobai.
Yu Xiaolian’s hands were covered in blood, as well as her clothes, which had been splattered during the arrow extraction.
Facing Jun Mobai’s questioning gaze, Yu Xiaolian burst into tears with a ’wah’.
"Mom, why is there so much blood down below? Am I suffering from some terminal illness?"
Sun, seeing Jun Mobai kick open her daughter’s door, and then a strong smell of blood coming from the room, hurried in, taking three steps at a time.
"Lian’er, what’s wrong? What’s the matter? Why is there so much blood?"
Yu Xiaolian rushed into Sun’s arms, "Mom, am I going to die? I’ve suddenly bled a lot!"
Sun was stunned. Come menarche at eleven? It’s way too early!
Yu Xiaolian cried heartbreakingly in Sun’s embrace.
Jun Mobai glanced at the blood-stained bed sheet, a blush creeping up his ears, realizing where the smell of blood actually came from.
Yu Xiaolian’s room was clearly visible; apart from the bed, there was nowhere to hide anyone. Seeing no one on the bed, Jun Mobai turned his head, apologized, and then left with his men.
After Jun Mobai left, Yu Xiaolian continued to cry a bit longer, putting on an act.
Sun truly believed her daughter had her first period and gently comforted Yu Xiaolian the whole time.
Sun instructed Zhao Erya to go out and find some grass ash to make a sanitary belt for Yu Xiaolian.
Zhao Erya took a look at Yu Xiaolian, seeing her nod quietly, and went to get the grass ash.
Sun, while finding clean clothes for Yu Xiaolian, muttered how early this first period had come.
As Yu Xiaolian washed the blood stains off her hands, Fu Qing was reporting back to Jun Mobai.
"It indeed seems to be... that, the maid is preparing grass ash for her young lady!"
Jun Mobai frowned, can ’that’ really cause one’s hands to be covered in blood?
But he had people thoroughly search the family’s courtyard and the house again, indeed finding no trace of that Witch Clan girl.
It seemed he had been overthinking.
"Declare from this day forth, Luocheng is locked down, with no entry or exit allowed until the Witch Clan girl is found, and each major pharmacy and medical clinic must be guarded, no consultations allowed, no medicines sold."
"Sir, to lock down the city..."
"What? Does this princely heir still not have the authority? Even Elder Fu Lu must allow his carriage to be searched before leaving the city."
Jun Mobai walked away with his hands behind his back, filled with anger, not intending to listen to Fu Qing’s advice.
Fu Qing sighed, the Princely Heir has already lost his cool over Miss Yu.
Yu Xiaolian did not intend to tell others about saving Miao Yingyao.
If her parents knew she saved a Witch Clan person, they would surely have many thoughts.
As for her mother misunderstanding about her getting her first period, let her misunderstand; it’s not a big deal.
Sun was truly frightened tonight, even the child in her womb was unsettled, constantly kicking her belly.
The house had been searched twice in one night; it had just been tidied up, and was messed up again, yet they dared not be angry nor utter a word.
The one searching the house was the Princely Heir, who dares not let him?
Dare not stop it, and dare not curse silently.
Her eleven-year-old daughter got her first period, Sun hastily sewed a few sanitary belts, and carefully instructed Yu Xiaolian on how to use them before returning to her room.
Yu Xiaolian told Zhao Erya that she had saved a person and not to tell anyone.
Zhao Erya nodded and left.
Without Yu Xiaolian saving her, she might have died in Yangcheng’s brothel.
Yu Xiaolian saved her first, then her sister.
At that time, she was sleeping in the carriage, sleeping obliviously, Yu Xiaolian could have pretended not to see San’er, not spending that Silver to save San’er, but she did.
She knew Yu Xiaolian had a kind heart.
Now Yu Xiaolian had saved another girl, yet did not want Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu to know, Zhao Erya understood that this girl would not stay with the Yu Family.
She guessed that once healed, she’d leave.
She was just recuperating here for a few days, that’s all, she wouldn’t speak of it.
As soon as Zhao Erya left, Yu Xiaolian released Miao Yingyao from the space.
Fortunately, Miao Yingyao was still unconscious.
Miao Yingyao didn’t wake up until dawn broke. After Yu Xiaolian fed her some water, she fell asleep again.
Indeed, Yu Xiaolian had not slept.
Jun Mobai was a suspicious and deep-minded person, she feared he might return later on.
The search for Witch Clan bloodline, on the surface, was for curing Yu Yanran, but it was really all for obtaining the Longevity Gu.
Yu Xiaolian thought that if Jun Mobai weren’t so young, he likely wouldn’t be willing to help Jun Yian ascend the throne but rather would plot for himself.
At the break of dawn, Miao Yingyao woke up again, seeing Yu Xiaolian asleep by the bedside, she struggled to get up from the bed.
Inside her was a Longevity Gu, nurtured by the Great Elder as a replica of the Longevity Gu.
The Longevity Gu and the Longevity Gu were similar, yet vastly different. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩
She usually felt no pain from minor injuries, but yesterday, she was genuinely in agony.
Moreover, once such pain was experienced, it was more painful than a normal arrow wound.
The wound felt like countless insects and ants were gnawing at her flesh, burning with pain, intensely itching.
Yu Xiaolian was awakened by the noise.
Seeing Miao Yingyao’s face unnaturally red, she reached out to touch her forehead.
Turning around, she opened a packet of medicine for reducing fever, poured it into a spoon, and fed Miao Yingyao both water and medicine.
After taking the medicine and drinking the water, Miao Yingyao felt her throat wasn’t as dry.
"Brother Yunfan must be looking for me, can you..."
"No!" Yu Xiaolian refused decisively, "Get well quickly, and once you are, leave promptly."
